1986209 pages including black and white photos of selected participants. The concept of the People's Enquiry was to gather information on the implications of CFMETR by inviting a number of experts in various fields to give papers on selected topics. The idea of having an open meeting was to provide the public with the answers which were denied them when the government turned down requests to hold a public meeting. Major-General Leonard Johnson (retired), one of the three distinguished panelists, said of the Enquiry, it was "an attempt to obtain facts, to inform the public, and to influence the activities that bear on the security of the people of Canada... Defence agreements can lead with changes in strategy and technology to unforseen and unintended consequences inimical to the security of Canadians. Because they are made and implemented in secret, beyond public security, such agreements are not subject to democratic control by an informed electorate, as all agreements affecting the lives of people should be. This is especially serious where nuclear weapons are involved." Moderate wear. Unmarked. Binding sound. Nice copy. Book

1947242 pages. "Contains a number of short glimpses of certain scenes in the tragic drama of Europe between the two Great Wars, as they were witnessed by the writer. The implications of those scenes were so clear that it must remain something of a problem why the leaders of the nations which wished for peace failed to take warning while yet there was time to avert disaster. A scene from each of the Great Wars has been included as prelude and climax, and some account of what defeat has so far meant for Germany. It is a mild punishment compared with what would have befallen her opponents if they had been defeated." - foreword. Black and white photographic plates. Front free endpaper removed. Prior owner's details blacked out inside front board. Average wear to maroon boards. Spine sunned. Binding intact. A sound copy. Book
